T
he nurse also should have known better. She was arguing from idealism
This is factually untrue. She was following the hospital's rules which are based on a Supreme Court decision and federal law.
When she had to know the first thing they do in the emergency room is take blood.
This is factually untrue.
There was no reason for her to argue other than a legal nuance that was always made mute by standard medical practice.
Again. This is factually untrue. Obviously you do not know the purpose of blood tests in an emergency environment.
The cops knew they always get the blood but were unaware of the legal nuance that allowed it.
This is factually untrue. And even if it were true that they believed that the fault is ignorant cops or at best untrained cops. That is the fault of the police department. The rest of us have to follow the law. Try making the "ignorance of the law" argument with a cop and see how far that gets you.
The nurse created a dispute that was strictly ideological with no basis in reality.
This is factually and obviously untrue. And that is why Salt Lake City is in complete damage control mode. They Mayor apologized to her. The Police Chief apologized to her.
"I was alarmed by what I saw in the video with our officer and Ms. (Wubbels)," Salt Lake City police Chief Mike Brown said in a news conference Friday. "I am sad at the rift this has caused between law enforcement and the nurses we work so closely with."
The department opened an internal affairs investigation, he said, and Friday evening the police department said Payne and another "employee" were placed on full administrative leave as a result of a criminal investigation into the incident. The department said the second person was an officer, but did not identify that officer.
Do try to keep up.
